Stora Wäsby Castle

The main building of Stora Wäsby features a two-story stone structure designed according to Rococo architectural principles with symmetrical proportions and detailed ornamentation.

The construction of Stora Wäsby began in the 1760s under architect Carl Hårleman's supervision, with Jean Eric Rehn completing the project following Hårleman's death.

The De Geer family established Stora Wäsby as a fideicommissary in 1730, maintaining its status as a significant example of Swedish noble estates.

The castle complex contains approximately ten buildings that have received historical designation status and are accessible through guided tours by appointment.

Adjacent to the main structure stands a 17th-century Baroque park, which underwent substantial renovations during the 1920s under architect Isak Gustaf Clason.
